FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - DECEMBER 2, 2005 programs reflect and support NIMS implementation at the State, local, and Tribal governments as appropriate. State, local, and Tribal entities are required to become fully compliant with NIMS by the end of FY 2006 (September 30, 2006). Entities are required to meet the FY 2006 NIMS implementation requirements as a condition of receiving Federal preparedness funding assistance in FY 2007. States and Territories must establish a planning process that incorporates the appropriate procedures to ensure the effective communication and implementation ofNIMS requirements across the State, including Tribes and local governments. This planning process must include a means for measuring progress and facilitate the reporting ofNIMS implementation among its Tribal and local jurisdictions. Office of Grants and Training (G&T) will continue to update grantees on NIMS compliance measures as they become available. Benchmarks for implementation of this National Priority include: · State, local, and Tribal entities should be fully compliant with NIMS by the end ofFY 2006 (September 30, 2006). As part of this compliance, States and Territories must institute the planning process called for in the September 2005 letter to Governors to ensure effective communication and implementation ofNIMS requirements across the State, including Tribes and local governments. · Progress toward the additional steps that State, Territorial, Tribal, and local entities should take during FY 2006 to become fully compliant with the NIMS, as outlined in the FY 2006 NIMS Implementation Matrices, included as Appendix G. For FY 2007, compliance with NIMS implementation requirements will be a condition of receiving Federal preparedness funding assistance. G&T will continue to update grantees on NIMS compliance measures as they become available. Additional information about NIMS implementation and resources for achieving compliance are available through the NIC. The NIC web page, http://www.fema.gov/nims, is updated regularly with information about the NIMS and additional guidance for implementation. C.3. Implement the Interim NIPP The interim NIPP, published in February 2005, establishes a process for bringing together a wide range of homeland security partners at the Federal, State, local, and Tribal level to establish the organized, unified, national risk-based approach to enhance the security and mitigate the risk facing the Nation's critical infrastructure and key resources. The interim NIPP delineates roles and responsibilities for homeland security partners in carrying out these activities, while respecting the authorities, jurisdictions, and prerogatives of these partners. Importantly, the risk- based process established through the NIPP will assist authorities in determining which critical infrastructure and key resources are critical at the national level and those which are critical at the State-level, thereby establishing a baseline understanding of how Federal and State funding resources could be best leveraged to enhance security. Investments and planning to improve critical infrastructure protection must support the final NIPP following its issuance in 2006. PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 6
